    Gold fever In 1848,when gold was discovered in California,John Sutter was already one of the wealthiest people in America. 36 Sutter built a fort(要塞) there,and soon he had 12 ,000 head of cattle (牛) and hundreds of workers.

    By the mid-1840s,more and more Americans were coming to California. 37 He saw them as part of his new Aiwgdom (王國) .However,he had no idea that this would destroy his dream some day.

     At the beginning of 1848,Sutter sent James Marshall and about twenty men to the American River to build a sawmill. 38 Later he wrote, “I reached my hand down and picked it up; it made my heart beat fast,for I was certain it was gold."

    39 Hundreds of thousands of people,almost all of them men,began to prepare for the journey west. They said their goodbyes and tried to take a chance on gold: a year of pain in return for a lifetime of riches. They were called “Forty-Niners” because they left home in 1849.

40 Sutter did not have gold fever. He wanted an agricultural kingdom and refused to give up his dream. In the new California,he was simply in the way. The Forty-Niners destroyed his crops and pulled down his fort for the building materials. In the end,he was very sad and left California.

   A. Sutter welcomed the newcomers.

   B. A few films were made about the story of John Sutter.

   C. He was a European and moved to California in 1839.

   D. However,few people believed the discovery was a fact.

   E. The news soon spread to every village and town.

   F. By the end of 1850,Sutter's kingdom completely broke down.

   G. It was nearly complete when something unusual caught Marshall's eyes.

36. C. 由該空后的 Sutter built a fort there可知,前面是說他在美國的情況,故選C項。

37. A. 由該空后的 He saw them as part of his new kingdom 可知,Sutter 非常 歡迎那些來的人,故選A項。

38. G。由該空后James Marshall所說的 話可知,G項內(nèi)容符合此處if境。

something unusual 就是指金子。

39. E。由該空后的 Hundreds of thousands of people ... began to prepare for the journey west可知,發(fā)現(xiàn)了這一消息很快傳遍了各地,故選E項。

40. F。由該空后的內(nèi)容可知,Sutter的夢想最終破滅了,F(xiàn)項是該段的主題句。

                                          A

                                       ★★★★☆

        The goat (畜棚) at a Putnam County market in Greencastle,Indiana,will soon be full of,well,goats. But right now it’s full of tables (堆積) with clothes,books and housewares.

At the tables are families,lots of them. Some waited in line for more than an hour to have the right to get the larger things,like furniture. Carrie Ardito was first in that line and ran to the back to get a clothes dryer.

     Yeah,I wasn’t expecting one. But I saw it,and it was wonderful!w Ardito says. “It s something I can't afford on my own."

With so many eager new owners,it's hard to believe that most of these things were voluntarily left behind by students at DePauw University, about a mile up the road. For the last six years,the school of about 2 ,200 has developed a yearly program,encouraging students as they move out of the dorms each year to give things away — not throw them away.

     Ed Sparks is helping his wife search on the tables.

     She was mainly after a bed — a couch-bed, whatever you want to call it — for the little one,” Sparks says.

The little one is their daughter,Madlynn,who was smiling and playing with a large,yellow foam hand from some past DePauw sporting event.

It means a lot,Sparks says. ^Nqw she has something a little bit better than what she's got right now."

     Allen Denhart,who was moving his daughter Emily out after her first year,sardTTe movea his kids out of dorm rooms before but was doing it differently this year because of the continual reminders to give away.

      Yeah,normally I would have just taken it to the garbage can if I didn’ t know,” he says. “Like that big piece of carpet there,it will probably save somebody $50 or $100 if they need a piece of carpet for next year."

only about a dozen families benefited. This year it's more than 100.

1. Which word can be used to describe Ardito,s feelings?

   A. Afraid.               B. Proud.

   C. Satisfied.              D. Worried.

2. Who started the program?

   A. A Putnam County market.

   B. Some college students.

   C. Some local farmers.

   D. DePauw University.

3. What did Madlynn need according to Sparks?

   A. A small toy.

   B. A couch-bed.

    C. A bigger dinner table.

   D. A sporting event ticket.

4. When Denhart moved his kids out of dorms

before, 

   A. he threw unwanted things away

   B. he usually gave things away

   C. he tried to bring everything home

   D. he sold used carpets at low prices

5. What can we learn about the program?

   A. It helps local families save some money.

   B. It has become less popular over the years.

   C. It improves communication among farmers.

   D. It is a chance for students to know about animals.
